For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
On the Menu
NATIONAL HAND ROLL DAY comes to us all the way from Japan. These sushi packed works of art go great with a little tea, sake, or a Japanese beer. Try a California roll, tuna roll or go spicy with the dragon roll.
Next, we come back to the good ol’ U.S. of A. for NATIONAL FRIED CHICKEN DAY. Not quite the healthiest way to eat chicken, but it sure is tasty. Coat your chicken in milk, dip it in seasoned flour, roll it in bread crumbs and fry it up until that bird is golden brown perfection on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. It’s makin’ me hungry just writing about it.
